Description
This recipe provides step-by-step instructions to cook fluffy and delicious long grain brown rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1½ cups long grain brown rice
Instructions
- Combine the water and the salt in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Rinse the rice well in a fine mesh sieve. Add to the boiling water.
- Reduce the heat so that it maintains a low boil and cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When rice is al dente (nearly cooked but still has a bit of a bite), strain the rice through a fine mesh sieve until most of the water has run through (about 10 seconds or so).
- Place the rice back into the pot, cover with the lid and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Fluff and serve.
Notes
- Rinsing the rice helps to remove excess starch, which can make the rice gummy.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your stove and pot type for best results.
